CULTER PLAYGROUP
THE autunm term is now into full swing. There are nearly 50 children spread over three groups. Our ‘Rising 5s’ group for children in their pre school year currently has three vacancies. (Contact Playgroup for details.)
The new ‘baby’ group of 21 / 2-3 year olds looks so cute - especially those still waddling about in big padded nappies! Our able playleaders, Sheena, Sheila and Jane, are introducing them to colours as their first theme. Already the walls of Playgroup are well decorated with all their handpaintings etc. The Playleaders spend a lot of time patiently teaching the wee ones the basic rules of social interaction - this may be the first time some of them have been away from home and in a group setting.
Thanks to the wonderful dry and
sunny weather, all the children have enjoyed extra outdoor playtimes in the
We were amazed (and humbled) to raise the £10,000 required to save the Playgroup so quickly. Thanks to you, our friends in the community, who made the recommencing of the 2003/ 04 year possible.
A new committee has taken over the reins and the members are relieved to find fundraising is a far less onerous task than last year’s dedicated band of Mums and Dads did.
Our older group of children (31 /2 - 4 years) are to have an extra Christmas treat in the form of a trip to see ‘The Happy Gang’ at the theatre. As in previous years, we are sure the ride in the big coach will prove to be just as exciting (if not more so) than the show itself.
Forthcoming Fundraising Events:
Sunday 16 November: Shopping Trip to MacArthur Glen,
Saturday 22 November: Christmas Fayre. Teas, Home Bakes, Toy & Craft
Stalls, Face Painting etc. lOam
